It's never been a better time to pursue your dreams. Don't ask others if your dream is a good idea or look in your check book for evidence. Can you believe in your dreams not because there are guarantees, promises or assurances, but rather because they matter to you? And then, can you put a stake in the ground to prove you are not just talking or dreaming about your dreams, but taking action on what matters to you most. Over the years I found that I was waiting for the next "stage" or for a "better time" to pursue the dreams I had of owning my own business. Eventually I figured out that there would never be a sign that said "Alyssa, now is the perfect time" so I took a leap of faith made a plan and did it. You can too! The first step is to find a coach or mentor who has done it. If money is an issue and you can't hire a coach, start with a SCORE Chapter. We have a great one here in Minneapolis and they offer free guidance for starting your business.
